FIGHT CLUB WHEN

...

Tinder is fun.

poise

>flashsword recoils off a medium shield like it hit a wall
wew

Why is there so little good art of Priscilla?

I mean, in general? Not porn.

>vicar/redditslayer event

Whoops, forgot to update my pasta.

Is the lothric knight greatsword any good or is it shit tier because of split damage?

only ever benefited fast/dex weapons, hyper armour is much better but needs to be like Demon's was

It's a buffable split damage weapon, that makes it good.

Just slap a pine resin on it and keep it buffed with resins/bundles at all times.

There's some, but her anatomy is fucked in-game so drawing her as anything other than super fluffy and chibi is tricky.

It's excellent when buffed with Lightning Blade.

She's either drawn right or wrong there's no in between, the art itself could be done nicely but her being drawn off model would ruin it.

isn't kick to R1 a true combo with that anyway? I don't think you needed to let him roll in the first place.

Any Ricard's Rapier users here?

I can't figure out if I should use it on my DEX character with a Sharp infusion or in some sort of hybrid DEX/FTH build to benefit from Darkmoon Blade. Or even DEX/INT

What's the best way to go about this bros?

It only happens with tinder for some reason.
But flashsword is mediocre for long catalysts in general, tinder is more of a "fuck off away from me or get raped for 700 hp" tool.

>anatomy is fucked in-game

What? I don't think I've ever examined it without the dress.

DaS3 poise:

>You have an invisible meter of 100.

>When it gets to 0, you stagger whether or not you're in hyperarmor.

>Poise reduces incoming stagger damage by the given percentage.

>Poise damage is calculated at all times regardless if you're in hyperarmor or not.

>Weapons have anywhere from 5 to 30 stagger damage, + or - for attack modifiers.

>Some HA attacks have a modifier that increases or decreases your poise during attacks.

>The meter automatically refreshes back to 100 every 30 seconds or after hitting 0.

So basically use it like the dragonslayer axe, got it

I have the uncensored version

>more people are realizing this

S-stay away from my weaponfu

>Basically, poise is just a way to fuck up hyper armour and shit on greatweapons even further

Take a close look at Yorshka and you'll get a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about.

Anyone who can booru has it.

Same i am the one who censored it after all.

In DaS3 the only ways to use Ricard's is

>trying to proc status
>with multihit bonuses like beacon, OWCS, pontiff eyes
>refined for ludicrous damage and that sweet "Ricard's Refined Rapier" name change

It's technically better against groups than DaS1 poise was, and you can withstand more hits before being staggered out of poise frames. You just don't have active poise all the time or during attacks with no business having poise, like rapier pokes.

I can see Yorshka's creepy skellington arms but Priscilla's overall body shape usually looked fine to me from what you can make out of it from being a third of her size and wearing that huge fur coat.

r8 the best build in the game

Catacombs are stupid and poopy


the end

It's basically just a reactive-passive glaive with the worst R2 in the game.

Yeah, people will say ":b-but I have to keep you away from me, Ima a mage" meanwhile they occasionally cast a 50-damage Fp throwing dart and land 400-damage long range, phantom range, full-hyperarmor glaive combos after spamming unparryable staggered R1s 6 times consecutively.

Tinder is a shitter weapon for shitters. It's a reskinned meta weapon with a fancy particle effect. The only thing bad about the weapon is the R2, which is what people use as an excuse to pretend they're anything but a glaiveshitter doing nothing but backpedalling and waiting for someone to attempt to enter staggered R1 range so they can spam R1 and hope for another free victory.

Why is Seigward using Warcry?

They both also have a freakishly long neck and torso, and there's something off about the ratio between their upper arms and thighs. More stuff too, it's just a weird body shape overall and hard to draw.

Bloodborne ruined Dark Souls 3

>braindead superfast healing negates risk
>fast weapons with stupidly high AR compared to ultras (700 vs 900 - 450 vs 600)
>eternally screaming enemies
>gross and disgraceful enemy design (enemies that vomit maggots, pus of man, maggot filled rotting dogs, the exact opposite of DaS1 design)
>statues and other high quality assets everywhere just because we could, what's optimization?
>ultra fast enemies in game with 0 poise without speeding up the player to compensate
>0 stamina dodges
>retarded and completely unbalanced "hyper armor" system with heavy bias towards medium weapons

Not only are all of these problems from Bloodborne, the balancing features aren't brought with it

>can't parry healing
>ultras actually have worse stunlock than fast weapons unlike BB's ultra bias (kirk charged r2 - r2 combo, ludwigs L1 R1)
>enemies are actually louder than in BB
>DaS3 isn't a horror setting, maggot men do not fit
>no instability damage modifier that punishes fucked up dodges - fucking up a quickstep in BB could oneshot you

Should've made Bloodborne 2 instead of pushing all of its design philosophy where it doesn't belong

>freakishly long neck and torso,
Like real dragons

>sl 70 with only 27vig
You'll get dumpstered by most people.
If you're invading there are weapons that could kill you in a single combo, and hosts will laugh at your regen as they continue to chug their 15 estus.

I'm pretty sure flashsword isn't unparryable, and there's also soul greatsword or dark edge. Or homing crystal soulmass. Or affinity, for the novelty of casting shadows with a torch.

I'm gonna need a picture of this; as in, not from the manlet undead's weird perspective.

Bamco ruined all three Dark Souls games.

Going back to DaS2 since I'm bored of 3 until DLC. And never played much of it, one quick playthrough, that was it.

I'm thinking about doing STR/FTH (maybe quality/faith) with greatswords/spears/halberds and some utility miracles thrown in, most likely Sunlight Blade too.

Any tips on it? Best starting class (I'm guessing Cleric, but Knight seems good if I get some levels into ATT and FTH), any weapons/miracles to keep an eye on or rush to get early on?

SotFS on PC btw

I ain't digging up the virus laptop again just to post priscilla webms, sorry.

>this much asshurt about glaives
Please continue, it's rather entertaining to read.

The R1s are unparryable
"worst R2 in the game" extends to the entire category of sorcery, all of which are equally inferior to R1 staggering with a glaives perfect hyperarmour and 0 openings. All of you tindershitters are the same: great farron dart and flashsword so you can pretend you're a spellcaster, while 90% of what you do in fights is wait for someone to make the first move and attempt to punish whatever they do with glaivespam, and all of your damage, without exception, comes from swinging the glaive itself. The R2 is just an excuse

i'd get rid of evil eye, use darkmoon instead and dump the free ATT levels into vigor

Also, are there some sliders for a qt knight-fu somewhere?
Making a good looking character in this game is the true dificulty of it.

>all of you tindersh-

Stopping you right there, mr. maximum projection. I never once said I used the immolation tinder. I only said it's a pretty decent weapon, and that the R2 isn't bad just by virtue of being sorcery. Hell, most sorceries are about the same speed as R2s, its just that there are so few that have the same speed and tracking as R1s. The only ones that do are literally straight sword R1 and magic throwing knives.

Sorcery gets a bad rap, because retards keep trying the equivalent of spamming fully charged heavy attacks and complaining when they never hit anything. You gotta think of your spells like your staff's moveset, except it's a customizable moveset that you can change.

I've been getting constant summons on my ps4 vicar character and I'm at pontiff right now. It takes less than 20 or 30 seconds for someone to summon me at pontiff and I was getting constant summons at almost every boss up to this point except watchers for some reason

Also seen quite a few bloodshades and a crusader as well

>second half of DS1 completely botched
>the entirety of DS2's production being a complete shitstorm, with them having to scramble a game together in a hurry
>DS3 obviously rushed to release in a year
This really is true, isn't it. Only the games without Bandai, DeS and BB, seem complete to me. Sure they couldn't finish the sixth archstone in time, but I prefer them just leaving it out completely rather than giving us something like Lost Izalith.

>Bamco : "Do you rike dark souros version of broodborne?"

>tindershitters
Oh hello autism user. I guess we've yet to see "dastard", "pcucks" and other wonders of extremely low IQ from you today?

If i remember correctly micro$hit presented the DaS3 teaser trailer, am i wrong?

DS3 is way more finished than DS1 or 2 and maintains overall higher quality of content all the way through at expense of only world interconnectedness maybe.

Heavenly Thunder is incredibly good and spammable. One of the few top-tier miracles that was never nerfed. You can buy it from Targray after killing the boss everyone shits on the game for having.

How do we get everyone to go back to DS1/2? DS3's PvP is just fucking garbage plain and simple.

DaS2's development had nothing to do with bamco, though.
The company put a bad person at the head of the project and he ran it into the ground, wasting probably hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process and left them with basically nothing to show for almost 2 years of development.

The fact that DaS2 was somehow salvaged into a game instead of turning into vaporware is nothing short of a miracle, but the problems with it were 100% internal.

Why would anyone go back to that clunky, poorly designed shitfest of half-baked ideas?

>sorcery builds
>shitters

Did you lose to one of the worst and hardest to use builds in the entire game? You sound upset.

You will never get me to stop invading.
I've collected 14 forked pale tongues tonight and I have no intention of stopping.

Get friends that think like you and play with them

Well you may start with not posting here anymore. This place will only win from this, that's for sure.

>DS3 is way more finished than DS1 or 2
I actually agree, but I still have this feeling that if they had allowed like a year more development time it could have been way better than what we ended up having.

you can reverse roll in das3

Is the estoc still the best weapon in the game?

Which one? :^)
I've got well over 100, but it's just not fun.
It's not as fun when you're not invading random people or PvPing people you don't know. Big fish small pond = no fun.
That doesn't fix the matchmaking, excessive staggering, general weapon balance, or any of the other problems.

It's interesting to note that initial concepts of DS2 were rather neat. Virtually all mechanics were designed long before Tanimura was assigned to the project and though i don't know who was behind things like different cast timings or magic aiming on R2, he sure as fuck was way more worthy of being a DS2 director than Tanimura who removed that mechanic completely and made all other ones as half-assed as possible.

I will never stop being mad about fire sorcery being removed.

>fire sorcery being removed.
And it's called 'Pyromancy'

Anybody here going to participate the Return to Lordran event?

*cringes*

>that multicasting staff of witches from undead crypt still has fire damage on it

kys

The network beta test was fun. Except for the part where resistance investment made you literally invincible, and there was a dice roll trapfinding stat for chests. Those could fuck right off.

Casting system was interesting, but I don't think it'd work out in the long run:
>staffs cast sorcery and fire
>chimes cast lightning and hexes
>magic and fire damage scales with intelligence
>lightning and dark damage scales with faith
>fire and hexes have dual int and fth requirements
>network test had files for felkin's staff casting dark and fire, and an unnamed chime doing the same

Basically, sorcerers would resist anything a sorcerer could do and clerics would resist anything a cleric could do. Dark and fire didn't scale with both stats, but had dual requirements. Aiming spells and delayed casting was pretty cool, though, and a lot of the spells that were in the files but not available in the network test sounded legitimately interesting. You can see some of the unused hexes by pissing off titchy gren, and you can see staff fire spells by pissing off felkin.

Why is blocking with a weapon not effective in DS3? It used to be really good in DS1.

Early DaS2 had rolled pyromancy into sorceries, so they were cast via sorcery catalysts and scaled with int.

There were a number of fire spells showcased in the early previews and promotional material that were cut when they reverted back to ol' pyromancy. Many of them are still in the game files and 100% usable.

I don't particularly mind, because DaS2's pyromancy is mechanically the best magic in the series, but it's a shame that so many new ideas were quashed by bad company management.

>they went as far as cutting network demo fire spell and selling it in dlc later
That's not the network demo version. Dance of Fire is like twice as big and colored differently.

I have a youtube playlist if you want to see it, but I played really shitty.

Try a greatshield

I'm about to beat DS3.
Is there a list of all Items I should have gotten in my 1st play-through?

How is this

mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/87411

Anybody up for a FC? I can host at a few places, as always.

yes luc

How do i make playthoughs fun /dsg/ ?

yes blease

I like it but why stop at 156?

Glaives can't be parried? Is it on the 2h r1 or 1h 1r?

Which other halberds have the same moveset?

Do stupid stuff like Rapport + Dead Again, or poison playthrough. Or click the random button on mugen.

He's full of shit, user.

New meta, highest you can go to invade crusaders

>just used the zweihander in DS3
>my favorite weapon in DS1
>it doesn't have that spin attack anymore
WHY

what spin attack

The zweihander never had a spin attack.

All slashing-type halberds (every one except RHH and "Halberd") are unparryable in their sweetspot. In other words, you can only parry them if they attack in point-blank melee range.

This applies for 2H and I don't know about 1H because 1H glaives have no hyperarmor and nobody ever uses them.

with great hammers its really important to get 40 end and if i were you i would lower your attunement to get there. Great lightning spear is shit at 60 faith and its gonna be much worse at 30. wrath of gods is redundant with morne hammers WA. Id say go for a heal with utility spells with whatever slots u have left

>spin attack
You mean doing a full 180?

>we're officially out of ideas on how to make enemies so we're just going to make this one the most annoying we can and put 12 of them in the same room

truly the mark of good design right there

Go for it

Any location is fine.

I take it you finally made it to Iron Keep.

Why is this allowed?

no, user, it's called fire sorcery. as in, pyromancy cast from a staff.

its a thing specifically mentioned in DaS1 iirc. The Witch of Izalith and her merry gang practiced Fire sorcery, not pyromancy. But the knowledge of it is lost. Pyromancy is basically an inferior form of fire sorcery practiced by Humans.

DaS2 was gonna bring the concept of fire sorcery back as a school of sorcery but it was cut. Felkin was supposed to be the fire sorcery teacher. he fucking casts pyromancies with the sunset staff.

I just don't understand why it isn't a pyromancy flame. It's bullshit.
